I drove through the school gate, and into the Salvatore parking space. We had not come to study, but to find out the truth. Alone in my car, I'd had sometime to think about these past events. I was no longer going to let anything stop me.
I could live my life without my wolf and I would be happy, I could see that now. I was not going to give in to any one anymore, I have had enough of their bullying and bullshit. If someone from this school had sent someone to come rape me, then that was the height of it.
I would no longer endure it. I would not keep quiet and let them run over me. Those days were over, I was going to find this truth, settle it, get the culprit and make them pay. And then, I would proceed with my education. Dammit! I have lost enough. I loved school but even here, they had bullied me into missing school.
They had used their evil plans to make me look like I had no idea what I was doing in school. I was driving into the school but I was not going to attend classes, just because of these insensitive bullies. Even those from my old pack had joined forces, but they would regret it. All of them.
The very next time, they would not mess with me. I might be calm and quiet but I was not dumb and stupid. I came out of the vehicle. The school premises were empty, it was learning period.
The boys also came out of their cars. The guards had parked and were already dragging the boys out. I wondered by Baron had requested that they bring them to the school premises.
"Won't this disrupt the school activity?" Zach asked, speaking my mind. "We could have done this outside of school, Baron."
I now realized the way Zach called his older brother with ease, the tension was no longer there. They had come to realize that it was Aaron and Baron not the rest of them against Baron.
And I also saw that Baron had no issues reconciling with his bothers except Aaron. I sighed. I hoped they were able to patch their differences someday soon.
"No, it won't." Baron replied.
"I think I get why Baron wants it to be done here." Trenton said. "The boys had come to the school to look for Katherina. Lucas had invited them but who gave them the address. And who let them know the connection between Lucas and Katherina. More importantly, how had they gotten Lucas's number."
"Which is where my suspicions come in. I might be wrong but Katelyn has never liked me. I wouldn't put this past her." I did not bother looking at Aaron's face as I spoke. I no longer cared what he thought.
"Trenton is right." Baron finally spoke. "But there's also another truth that will be revealed here today. It all started within the walls of this school, and I wanted it to end here. Katherina was disgraced publicly, it's time for her to be vindicated."
"What else have you found, Baron?" I asked. What was he talking about? Why did it sound like he was speaking in parables?
He did not reply me, he went to the boys and pulled two phones out of their pockets.
The bell rung then. I checked my watch, time for lunch. I didn't know who first got sight of us and started screaming. More like they saw the boys. Me, well, I had no admirer. But the boys were such a candy to look at. I smiled. I had very handsome step brothers.
"Guys, follow me." Baron ordered, ignoring the hollering of students that had come out to see the Salvatore brothers. "Take care of those boys. Don't let them escape." He instructed the guards who bowed in obedience.
I was in their midst. The only girl in the midst of five boys. They felt more like my bodyguards than my brothers. We walked down the hallway but we did not go the usual way we followed when going for class. So they had just finished lectures but how had they been able to find time to use their phones while in class?
Well, it was none of my business. I guess they would find a way to learn even when using their phones in class. And the boys must be really popular online if they could garner that much likes on a mindless video of two laughing buffoons - I was one of those buffoons. And I remembered Zach had tagged me and Lucas to that video.
We passed the year two cafeteria. My class cafeteria. And ventured onto another hallway. Where were we going to? I had never stepped my feet here before. Where was Baron leading us to? Aaron was quiet, he had been so ever since we left home.
Which was a good thing. I knew how fond he was of Katelyn and while I did not really like seeing them together which kind of surprised me because it was none of my business who Aaron chose to be with, it would not stop us from finding the truth.
And from Baron's words, he had another truth he wanted to reveal. I know how much this might be right now, but I just hoped this day would bring an end to all of these problems. I just wanted to focus on my education and graduate, live my dreams and be happy.
I was ready to work but I was also glad that dad's connection would help me grow faster. I wanted to make my own money.
"Do you know where we're headed?" I whispered to Lucas
"I was just about to ask the same thing." Zach said from behind.
I whipped my head in alarm. "How are you there? And you scared me."
"This is where the school's hospital is, though. What I did not understand is why are we headed here." Zach ignored my question to respond to the one I had asked Lucas.
"We're here." Baron announced.
